New Daily Show Host Trevor Noah Is Callous Jew-Basher on Twitter

Trevor Noah, the newly announced replacement for Jon Stewart to host Comedy Central’s Daily Show, has a pattern of making comments over the years on his verified Twitter account about Jewish people that play upon derogatory stereotypes that reeks of anti-Semitism.

One comment was a Holocaust joke.

Almost bumped a Jewish kid crossing the road. He didn't look b4 crossing but I still would hav felt so bad in my german car!

“South Africans know how to recycle like israel knows how to be peaceful.”

Noah, who is South African, told the AP in an interview published Monday that he is a progressive who shares the progressive world view of Stewart.

“AP: You have a much different background than Stewart. How will that affect the show?

“TN: One thing we both share: We are both progressives. Obviously where you’re from may inform a lot of your decisions. But traveling the world I’ve learned that progressives, regardless of their locations, think in a global space. And although I happen to be a guy who’s not from the same place that Jon’s from, I’ve lived in America for years before I went back out on the road, and I’ve learned to love the place. I’ll bring something different because I am different, but because it’s a team, it’ll be the same as well.”
